3. Harry Gardner: I’m not alone.
Open your eyes and say hello Open your mind and just let go Tell me to get the remote So we can watch your favourite show And ruffle my hair and say it's bad and tell me there's chocolate in your handbag And tell me just how much I've grown And let me know I'm not alone
I remember how you'd come around and see us And you'd always have the same cup for your tea Oh that cup sits on the shelf now Waiting for the day you come back to me oh We understand good things don't last But I'd give anything just to see you laugh Looks like the angels owe me one today But I stay strong I know it won't be long Till we see the old days

7. “I loved my job then.
We had a lot less people to work with so we had a lot more time with folks…
Having a cuppa with someone was as important in finding out about how they were. It was then they told us things they didn’t tell the doctor or their families. It was then that we could work out how the folks really were. That’s the big miss I think for carers today – they simply don’t have time.”
